Abstract:
An important part of a research project is the exploitation of the achieved results and the fostering of innovation processes within the involved industrial partners. Typically, the exploitation activities are started late in the execution of a project. In this paper, an approach that starts with preparatory action for exploitation from the first day of a project and sees exploitation and technological development in an integrated way is presented. The approach has been implemented for a project that is choosing a very disruptive approach on technological layer. The experiences applying this approach are presented and compared to a less resource consuming approach for a project of similar size and complexity with less disruptive technological basis.
